potential participants to voluntarily provide certain aspects of theiridentity. These aspects included: class-level, major, race, gender, sexual orientation, documenteddisability, to name a few. When selecting participants for invitation in this study, we sought tomaximize variability within these identity-based categories in an effort to capture a broadspectrum of experiences and viewpoints. For instance, in assembling the focus groups of BlackMen, we not only looked at their shared racial and gender identity, but also sought to represent adiversity of academic majors within engineering, such as Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical andComputer, and Fire Protection. We were equally diligent in grouping participants based on classstanding, from

After working in the aerospace industry, he returned to the UPRM for his MS in Mechanical Engineering in 2017, where he pursued ways to tailor ideation methods to interdisciplinary teams as part of his thesis work, and had the opportunity to teach undergraduate ME courses. His previous efforts and experiences in engineering education helped shape his overall goal of fostering human-centered education systems, which led him to pursue his PhD at ASU.Marcus Melo de Lyra, The Ohio State University Marcus is a second-year Ph.D. student in the Engineering Education Department

about climate change intheir engineering courses could be useful.Many students also viewed sustainability as a separate discipline or subject, as opposed to a setof principles for application in engineering. For example, in the second qualitative question,students indicated that they had a stronger interest in something else (i.e., Aerospace), implyingthe independence of sustainability from their interest. In the first qualitative question, manystudents said that their discipline is not related to the environment/sustainability, and thereforeclimate change discussions are not relevant in their classes. This is despite most studentsagreeing (both in the SCCT quantitative section and in the qualitative section) that engineers arewell-suited to

This move came amidst growing concernsabout U.S. technical competitiveness in global markets, particularly given the rapid developmentof the Japanese economy [12]. The aim of this directorate was to enhance the technologyinitiatives of the NSF while fostering strong links between engineering research, education, andindustry. Notably, in 1984 the Engineering

Analytical approachDuring our first year of data collection, one of the senior researchers conducting participantobservations would bring field note excerpts and key quotations from student interviews tosupport our team in building interpretations. These early data sessions focused on how studentstalk about their college experiences, conceptualize power in society, attend to marginalizationand possible harms, and show a willingness to be vulnerable and take risks within the STSprogram. Our Undergraduate Research Fellows, in conversation with one another, also wrotesynthesis memos developing claims based on their ethnographic observations. These
